Ricky Pearsall News

Ricky Pearsall Absent on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 29, 8:49 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Pearsall continues struggling to recover from a knee issue that has kept him sidelined since he suffered the injury Week 4. The 49ers haven't given a clear timetable on Pearsall, but they haven't placed him on the injured reserve. That being said, Pearsall figures to return sooner rather than later. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates throughout the week. However, the fact Pearsall isn't even limited in practice isn't a good sign heading into the Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants.
